And for the love of God, don't confuse us with those dirty hippies in Vermont!

1. No sales tax

:bounce:

[SoxFan]

2. No school funding, either...

:P

Actually, I like the lack of a sales tax, but think we should have an income tax.

18. My wife was on a school board in NH for 3 years - it sucked.

6. But a property tax that rips you down to your skivvies twice a year.

Don't forget the View tax, that's a NH fave.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. What's the "view tax"?

I've never heard of that one.

[sarge43]

14. Another way around no sales or income tax

If your property faces or fronts a knockout view as determined by some Concord bureaucrat, you pop extra on the property tax.

15. That's fucked up

:wtf:

[sarge43]

16. Ya think?

No sales tax sounds great, doesn't live well.

19. That's why we live south of the border

but travel for some purchases.

3. Ooh, I LOVE New Hampshire

Portsmouth, Strawberry Banke, the White Mountains, Dartmouth (beautiful), Lake Winnipesaukee, and my friends in Center Sandwich, such a pretty little village. Although I had to gently correct them when they referred to Lake Winnipesaukee as a 'big' lake; in Michigan if you can see across a lake, it isn't big. :P

I love flying in to the Manchester airport; it's great. So clean and well run.

I think New Hampshire's seacoast is interesting too. I love New Hampshire. I love New England!

4. Manchester's airport is fantastic, isn't it?

A heck of a lot easier to deal with than Logan! Mark Brewer and his troops do an excellent job over at MHT.

It's the only airport I know of with a display of campaign buttons in the lobby!

13. Saint Gaudens' Home, Canterbury Shaker Village, Franconia Notch State Park.

The drive through the Kank from Lincoln to Conway.

The first daffodils in spring

The yeasty smell of the earth after an April rain

A constellation of fireflies in the blooming lilac bushes under a late May full moon

The call of a hawk on a lazy July afternoon

Foliage time, crisp and bright as a baroque trumpet

The smell of wood smoke on winter evening

5. Woodstock Inn Station and Brewery

Very hip, and not dirty.



The view in back of one of their buildings:

8. 15 minutes away...

Can get American Spirits dirt cheap...compared to here.
Casino Ballroom...ah...saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd there not too long ago.

New Hampshire is beautiful...nice place to go for a ride and breathe..

peace

9. I love that John Irving named a novel after it: "Hotel New Hampshire," and that

it is a fantastic novel, and a pretty good movie.

12. The almost filmed that in my childhood home town

The producers actually sent a team to scout out locations in Kingston, particularly the hopelessly outdated high school. Alas, nothing ever came of it.

10. I like the dirty hippies here...we have them too...I think I'm one ! n/t

[sarge43]

17. You're not a dirty hippy; you're a swamp yankee.

Say it loud and say it proud. Swamp yankees invited mud bogging -- getting out of their yards in the spring.

11. Awesome skiing
